I'm not so much in earnest to play the game as I'm wanting to know what DA3 will be about in plotline and game mechanics. Will it be a DA2 clone with just a few minor tweaks? Will it be closer to Origins with another epic story?

It has the potential to be as epic as Origins. With the Orlesian Empire in turmoil, the Mages having decided to abandon the Circles and fight, as well as the possible advancement of Flemeth's plot (or whatever it is Morrigan alluded to at the end of WH), combined with what they said at PAX, I am fairly hopeful.

Those are the two videos of the DA panel from Pax East, which I really advise people to watch.

I think it's about time for a separate DA3 forum - anyone coming to DA2 late, and wanting to discuss DA2 will take one look at he list of threads here, and wonder if they've just come to a misslabled DA3 forum.
As to DA3, I'm quite willing to wait several years, if necessary, as long as they learn their lessons from earlier mistakes, get it right, and don't cut corners. DA3 should not be rushed. I am not too optimistic, but I still keep hoping that DA3 will manage to capture some of what DA:O had, and prove that Bioware can still make games of the highest caliber under EA.

^This.
What the dwarf said.
That being said, if she was referring to another game, that's fine. My only concern is that whatever teams working on new content have the resources and time to do the best job they possibly can. Since that is out of our control, not being owners of the company, then the best plan is probably to relax and see what develops.

No game is going to get a forum until it's officially announced.
From my perspective, I'd say the majority of discussions about a potential DA3 occurring right now are actually discussions of DA2 anyhow. What else could they be? And we're primarily talking about the General Discussion forums... the other DA2 forums still seems to have plenty of regular DA2 conversation.

So can we post on the Origins forum about DA3 as well?

What would be the point? The Dragon Age 2 forum is far more relevant from a speculative point of view since important events from DA2 are more likely to pop up at some point in DA3... hypothetically anyway.

Not when they announce the next project is actually Shattered Steel 2.

Especially if it's that LOL!
... Wow that's really going back some though, Shattered Steel was released in... 1996 I think?

But then people could conclude it's been in development for 16 years and will be a fantastic game!

If it really only just went into production, then that meant it had a pretty long pre-production process compared to Dragon Age 2. Take heart Bioware, I don't care if I have to wait until 2014 to play this game, just get it right. Something with the quality of Origins or Mass Effect 2 is well within your power. Make it happen.
It hasn't had a really long pre-production because most staff were diverted to work on The Old Republic. That was Bioware's priority at the time.

What a coincidence. That's what the Lead Designer for Dragon Age: Origins said happened to him. People from his team was being pulled off to work on Star Wars The Old Republic. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the Lead Designer for The Old Republic was originally the lead designer for Origins. I want to say his last name was Oghren.
I guess that shows what priority Bioware has put on The Old Republic since 2006. No wonder Dr. Ray Muzyka looked all hallowed eye at the E3 conferance saying "Please, please play my game. It's free up to level 15! Please!"

Ahh yes, The Old Republic, we have dismissed that claim.

Oh, I see. I guess a hearsay rumor is better than a completely baseless one. Fair enough.

It's obvious to me that people will take whatever little bits of news they can and cling to it and analyze it. That's just the nature of a fandom, don't you think? I do love the devs, and appreciate the time it takes to come on to these forums, but I have found recently that certain comments from certain developers strike me as rather insulting. I just feel sometimes like we're treated like insufferable toddlers who don't know anything, patted on the head and swatted off to go play while the adults have a good laugh about us. It seemed a legit article, and I see no reason why people would be annoyed when we assume as much.

I'm only recently starting to follow securities trades and so forth myself, so I don't blame people for reading an analyst's supposition and thinking he may have some additional insight.
In my recent experiences though, I have come to the realization that many stock analysts are just making a guess that is supported by their own internal logic. The concern I have is that I think they can be a bit irresponsible at times, because people do factor in their comments when making investment decisions. Though this gentleman's claims aren't too significant I suppose, but investors that see TOR as a beacon of light or as a sinking ship will probably make investement decisions based on his supposition.
I know in response to ME3, some people were hoping that driving the stock price down would put EA in a financial crunch, but in reality that isn't the case. The only people affected by a downward push in stocks are those that happen to own EA stock (the vast majority of which don't run the day to day affairs as it's a part of mutual fund investments and so forth. I think Larry Probst III is the largest single shareholder and he owns like 0.25% of the stock). Over 90% of EA's stock is mutual fund type of investments.
Though I'm off on a tangent now. I guess what I mean to say is that most stock analysts are just making their suppositions based upon whatever internal logic they have going on. That a move holds up to logic, however, doesn't mean it's actually true. It's just him making a guess.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I appreciate the time you take to state your opinions but also the time you take to explain them and for treating us as though we aren't too stupid to understand them.
